1986: Your average Dominos has a ISDN just because that's like 8 phone lines and you'll definitely need them all on a busy night. 2026: Your average Dominos hangs up on you when the website's down because they have no way to locally input an order that isn't through the same system the website uses. The Dominos website uses Microsoft 265, so anytime Microsoft's web services are down, Dominos can't deliver. The future is stupid.

@BalooUriza I stopped ordering from them the first time I didn't get a real person. Three years now. Thankfully live in an area that has great local pizza places now.

@BalooUriza One time I landed at JFK and my connecting flight to Boston was cancelled due to weather. I NEEDED to get to Boston so I went to the Avis desk and said I wanted a one-way rental from JFK to Logan. The guy at the desk said they couldn’t do it. I walked away from the desk and called their 800 number. 10 minutes later I walk up to the same guy “Hi, you should have a car for me.” Got my one-way rental that he couldn’t do.

@BalooUriza "Microsoft 265", the productivity suite that goes on holidays for ⅓ of the year every year.

@BalooUriza 2026 - which is a bit like the mastodon.social status page being on the same domain as the site itself. #mastodonsocial #ddos

@BalooUriza Microsoft 265 is Microsoft 365 with 100 days of downtime a year 😅

@BalooUriza Franchises and all Fast food are cultural imperialism when outside USA and parasites. Franchises in General: Workers badly paid "Manager" puts up the capital. Tax avoidance via "fake" patents (USPTO is broken since 19th C.) Offshoring all profits. Boycott all chains and use local owned & controlled stores.
